No I don't
I was neither horrified nor scared. I've watched Alien several times, despite knowing the entire story, it still has the power to make me flinch.
To me it's boo moments that make a good horror film, not gore, not really weird looking monsters, it's every body expecting the big bad monster to come out in the open, and then discovering the ships cat, then the sigh of relief being cut off by a swooping shadow and a despairing scream of pain.
Most films that are sold as horror are just gore fests, a better name might be shockers, the only horrifying aspect about them is how crap they are.
Aliens was an action film set space with a rare and convincing female lead. There was a horrific monster in it (Burke), and some aliens as well.
